Abstract:
This data was created specifically for use in the Wyoming Ground-water Vulnerability Mapping project. The data represents only depth to INITIAL ground-water and does not reflect potential water quantity or quality issues. The data is also limited to areas within Wyoming in which wells have been recently drilled.

This data represents a depiction of the Depth to Initial Ground Water for the state of Wyoming (excluding Yellowstone National Park) at a 100 meter cell resolution, 1:100,000 scale. The data was created by using Kriging to interpolate a smooth surface between known data points obtained from the Wyoming State Engineer's Office well permit records at various years.
